Bow Close Off

[sivs1]

Has anyone done this?

I was thinking maybe doing it but using a piece of Plexiglass. Seems pretty simple, would take the chill off during those early morning cruises.

A snap on bow cover is a little easier to put away and easier to put on and store stuff if a storm comes through. The cover still provides protection from the wind and spray.

That's what I do now for the most part, pretty simple solution, more curious if anyone here has done more than that!

Here is the one I made last year for my 06 LSV and sold a few to forum members. I can't write a review as I never tried mine out before trading the boat in. I still have the CNC program and can cut a few more when we have time. Currently my CNC is booked out a few weeks.

Looks great. this will be added to the list for next winter or maybe early fall if we keep hitting the water.

I have loved mine, it completely closes off the air flow from the bow. Keeps you nice and warm behind it. The only disadvantage is storing it, not a big deal but takes up a little room. Let me know if you want to check mine out anytime.

Here is mine and storage has never been an issue. It slides up against the wall in either of the back bays. I like it better than a bow cover. For me it is easier to put in rather than snapping on a cover. I also prefer the look of the bow without the snaps. Just my preference though. Cost me less than $100 bucks with the rail mounts.

I like it, what did you use for the rails?

[D Dub]

The place that cut the screen cut the rails too. I then just put the soft side of some Velcro on the edges of the wind screen so it fits snug and keeps it from rattling. I had it done like 5 or 6 years ago and will see if they are still in business.

I had a piece of Canvas that matched my cover with snaps in the walk way. easy to put up and store 50 bucks from the canvas guy.

I also made a wind block. Easy to do, cut down a hard plastic sheet and slide it in. This was a living room project using the coffee table.
